Southampton 0-1 Man Utd
It's understandably gone very quiet at St Mary's.
You wonder where Southampton's confidence will be at - there's only so many knockbacks you can take, after all.
Even this early into a season.

'Man Utd will feel a burst of confidence'published at 13:07 British Summer Time 14 September
Southampton 0-1 Man Utd
Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsWhat a ball that is.
That shows you how momentum can change if you can finish. Man Utd will have felt a burst of confidence from not conceding the penalty.
GOAL - Southampton 0-1 Man Utdpublished at 35 mins
Matthijs de Ligt
Image source, ReutersFrom the resulting corner Christian Eriksen goes short to Bruno Fernandes, who delivers a trademark sumptuous ball which is guided home by the head of Matthijs de Ligt.
It's the Dutchman's first goal for Manchester United - it's come very much against the run of play and is a big sucker-punch for Southampton and Russell Martin.
Cameron Archer's penalty miss has been very costly.
GREAT SAVE!published at 13:05 British Summer Time 14 September
Southampton 0-0 Man Utd
The hosts are almost instantly punished for that penalty miss.
Joshua Zirkzee shoots low from outside the box - it's heading right for the corner but Aaron Ramsdale does very well to tip it behind for a corner.
'Nerves in the stadium'published at 13:04 British Summer Time 14 September

Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsYou could feel the nerves in the stadium.
Southampton have had the domination in the first half and you have to score at least one goal - that was the opportunity.

Image source, ReutersAndre Onana saves low to his right!
It's a pretty poor penalty from Southampton's Cameron Archer, who you'd normally back in that situation, but Onana guesses correctly and does well to push the ball out of danger.
A huge reprieve for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.

PENALTY TO SOUTHAMPTONpublished at 31 mins
Southampton 0-0 Man Utd
Diogo Dalot brings down Southampton debutant Tyler Dibling and that's a stonewall penalty.
Sloppy would be an understatement. Oh dear.
It looks like Cameron Archer will take it.

Southampton are easy on the eye and have looked good here, but are they at risk of becoming all style and no substance?

Another Southampton half-chance.
The impressive Yukinari Sugawara puts in a free-kick and on-loan Chelsea man Lesley Ugochukwu heads over when completely unmarked in the box.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 26 mins
Southampton 0-0 Man Utd
Kobbie Mainoo comes off second-best in a midfield battle with Southampton's Lesley Ugochukwu and reacts by desperately handling the ball.
The result? A yellow card for the Manchester United man.

Still waiting for Man Utd to turn up, the threat is coming from Saints. Man Utd are poor.

Southampton full-back Yukinari Sugawara gets away from Diogo Dalot far too easily and his cross-shot has to be scrambled clear by Matthijs de Ligt.
Dalot fun going forward, not so fun when running towards his own goal.
Japan international Sugawara has time to whip in another cross but it drifts out for a Manchester United goal kick.

A chance for both managers to give their early assessments to their troops.

Southampton 0-0 Man Utd
This game has been very watchable so far.
At one end Kyle Walker-Peters jinks past a defender for Southampton but can't find a pass, and then Bruno Fernandes drags a shot wide as Manchester United break.

Saints have struggled with quick play around the box, Man Utd have got in with a straight ball - that's a worry for Southampton.

Man Utd are currently a cup-winning top-eight team, but fans think they are still 90's Utd. Fed up with hearing, "Not being in title race isn't good enough for Utd" - nope! Reality is Man Utd are not good enough for a title race.

Amad Diallo is beginning to look lively for the visitors.
He loves to cut inside, but he's helped Manchester United win their first corner - which results in Noussair Mazraoui thumping straight down the throat of Aaron Ramsdale.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15 mins
Southampton 0-0 Man Utd
Image source, ReutersSouthampton's Aaron Ramsdale is called into action for the first time, and he does well to thwart Joshua Zirkzee.
It's a slick move from Manchester United in fairness - Lisandro Martinez's incisive forward pass got things moving, and it resulted in Dutchman Zirkzee sliding to try to divert the ball in.
But he couldn't get enough power on it.

Match Facts
Bournemouth are winless in five Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D2 L3), having won three of their previous four against the Blues prior to this (L1).
Chelsea have lost just one of their seven Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W4 D2), with three of their four defeats in the competition against the Cherries coming at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in all three of their Premier League games so far this season (W1 D2) – they’ve never gone four without defeat from the start of a campaign in the competition before.
Bournemouth beat Everton 3-2 last time out, despite trailing 2-0 up to the 87th minute, the latest a team has come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game. It was the Cherries’ third win from 2+ goals behind since their return to the competition in 2022, more than any other team in that time.
Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last having a longer run between February and April 2022 (4).
Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, shipping 36 goals in total in this run. Only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet on the road in the competition, going 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea have scored a joint league-high four second half goals in the Premier League this season. All four of Bournemouth’s have been in the final five minutes of games (86th minute onwards), while all four of Chelsea’s came in their only away game so far against Wolves.
Chelsea’s Premier League win rate in August is 61.1%, their highest in any month excluding June/July, while it drops to 47.8% in September (their second-lowest). Excluding June and July, only Arsenal have a bigger such drop from one month to the next among ever-present sides in the competition (61.4% in October, 45.4% in November).
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has had more shots than any other Premier League player this season (17). Meanwhile, Semenyo (17 shots, 4 chances created) and teammate Marcus Tavernier (12 shots, 9 chances created) have been directly involved in 21 attempts so far, with only Kevin De Bruyne (23) being involved in more in the division.
As well as having the most assists so far (4), no player has created more big chances than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in the Premier League this season (4). Palmer is averaging a goal (23) or assist (15) every 76 minutes in the competition for Chelsea, the second-best rate of any player with at least 1,000 minutes for a specific club (behind only Erling Haaland, one every 67 with Man City).
